"Gao Taixiang was able to prevent the eight thousand remaining soldiers from surrendering to the Hu people, which is already very remarkable."
Ran Bo nodded, Gao Taixiang did lead the troops well, he had to admit this.
"You know, they originally had 30,000 troops, but now they have less than 30% of them."
Ran Liyuan shook his head and sighed, "If we don't show our great power to Dali, can they follow us?"
"Regiment leader, you are right, I will issue the order immediately." Deputy regiment leader and messenger Ran Bo nodded.
After speaking, he opened the roof of the car, waved the small red flag in his hand, and gave the order to attack.
Inside the giant chariot, Princess Ayi's little face was extremely excited, and she waved her hand: "Rush over, let us see the ugly appearance of the Dali soldiers."
"Princess, Dali Kingdom is trapped in the valley. Let's come from Qi Kingdom to rescue them and see what else they have to say." Achun and the maids were even more happy.
The relationship between Zi Qi and Dali is extremely complicated, a bit like the relationship between mother and son.
Although the Ziqi Kingdom claimed to be a state, it was not recognized by the Song Dynasty and Dali Kingdom, which was equivalent to de facto independence.
Now they finally have a chance to slap someone in the face, which makes Princess Ayi and others extremely happy.
Huang Xiaoniu covered his mouth with a sarcastic smile on his face.
Where are the soldiers and horses of the Qi Kingdom? They are hiding behind the little saint and do not dare to come out to fight.
Although the fighting on the battlefield is extremely fierce now, it is basically the security group and the barbarians who are fighting fiercely.
Even Princess Ayi and the others were not riding horses, but were also in the security team's giant spirit chariot.
Although Huang Xiaoniu felt extremely contemptuous in his heart, he still took Princess Ayi's face into consideration and did not expose it.
Mountain gate city wall of Dali country in the valley.
Gao Miao, Gao Lin, and Gao Sen looked anxiously at the Hu people's base camp.
Although Dali's soldiers and horses have been maimed, the three of them are captains of ten thousand men, and their treatment is quite good.
There is also a small arrow tower behind the city wall, which is heavily protected.
Now the three of them were sitting on the table, drinking tea and observing the enemy's situation.
The three people's strong tea had turned into nothing. Gao Miao couldn't help but stand up. While looking at the barbarian camp in the distance, he kept circling around the table.
Although Gao Sen was spinning in circles, he was actually just as anxious.
His eyes suddenly opened wide, and his eyeballs almost fell out of their sockets, and his jaw could not be closed for a long time.
Gao Sen pointed into the distance and said: "Zihe, Zisen, look, what kind of monster is that? There are quite a few of them, there seem to be more than a dozen."
"This is a monster, it's like I've never seen it before, and it's sparkling." Gao Miao was shocked, licked his dry lips, and swallowed hard.
Gao Lin rubbed his eyes and stood there as if petrified. After a long time, he said with difficulty: "Could it be a ladder or a Lu Gong car, but it doesn't look like it. Although it looks like half an egg, it looks like a hill."
"Could it be a new siege weapon of the Hu people? This weapon is so tall, almost as high as the city wall." Gao Sen thought for a while, trembling his fingers and said in a trembling voice.
Gao Lin couldn't help but take a few steps back, tapping his teeth up and down and said: "This weapon is not only three feet high, but also three feet wide. It is a monster among monsters."
"Look, there are so many muzzles on it, it seems like there are more than a dozen iron cannons." Gao Sen felt weak all over, and if his hands were not holding the stool, he would have fallen down.
You know, the Hu people's iron cannons are not that tall. They are only small tanks at most.
Gao Miao looked at the two men with disdain, pulled out his Hu-killing knife, and immediately rushed out of the arrow tower.
He stepped forward and kicked the soldiers who were also trembling with fear, one after another: "Stand up and prepare to shoot."
"Stand up and prepare to shoot." Although Gaomiao's five hundred soldiers were extremely frightened, their master had already stepped forward, so they had no choice but to step forward as well.
At this time, Gao Sen and Gao Lin also came out, but instead of holding Hu-killing knives, they each held a long spear.
If you are careful, you will see that they were able to force their way out only by relying on their spears.
Gao Lin couldn't help but knock his teeth up and down: "The monster is about to fire."
"What should we do if we fire?" Gao Sen was shaking all over. "We have to hide under the city wall."
"I've been hiding below." Gao Sen said, ducking down and hiding behind the wall, secretly looking at the iron monster.
The iron monster stopped at about a hundred steps. Gao Lin's face turned pale and he grabbed the wall with both hands to prevent himself from being paralyzed on the ground.
He said tremblingly: "The monster stops, it's about to fire."
"Fire the arrow, thank you." Gao Miao, who did not hide, took the lead and fired an arrow.
At this time, five hundred arrows buzzed out from the long bow and hit the monster, making a tinkling sound.
With a clanking sound, all the arrows were bounced back and fell to the ground one after another.
Gao Lin's eyes almost fell out of his sockets. He licked his dry lips, swallowed hard and said, "This monster is indeed made of iron. It is not afraid of bows and arrows."
"Get down." Seeing that the arrows had no effect, Gao Miao didn't care much at this time and had to order to hide behind the wall.
Gao Sen kept staring, not daring to blink at all.
He asked with a strange look on his face: "It's strange, it's really strange. This monster doesn't fire. What on earth is it going to do?"
As soon as he finished speaking, the cover on the top of the monster suddenly opened, revealing a human head.
"If the monster doesn't fire, how can it persuade us to surrender?" Gao Lin grabbed the wall with both hands and said tremblingly.
He has already seen that this monster is made of iron. It seems that the arrows do no harm at all, and even the swords and guns may not have much effect.
Gao Miao said coldly: "Dali has only warriors who died in battle, not cowards who surrendered."
Although he looked down on his two cousins, he didn't dare to say it clearly, so he could only hit them from the side.
"That is, the Gao family has no generals who surrender, only warriors who can only die in battle." Gao Lin and Gao Sen were shocked and immediately expressed their stance.
Gao Miao nodded, with a satisfied smile on his face.
At this time, the lid opened, revealing a small head.
They also wanted to see the face of that little head, but unfortunately the face was blocked by something they had never seen before.
Gao Miao and the other three looked at each other and felt even more strange.
Gao Miao felt extremely puzzled. Could it be that the person trying to persuade him was a Lilliputian? Why wasn't he a seven-foot tall man?
The thing made a clear voice: "The soldiers of Dali Kingdom have not yet seen this princess."
The sound is like that of an oriole, which makes people feel extremely comfortable.
The three of them felt quite relieved when they heard this.
Anyone who can say this is obviously not a barbarian.
Since she is not a barbarian, why is she still a little lady and a princess?
"Which country are you a princess? Are you the princess of the Song Dynasty?" Gao Miao carefully looked at the little lady whose face was covered. He had no idea who she was, so he had to ask loudly.
The thing chuckled, and then said triumphantly: "Princess of the Song Dynasty came to Dali, you can dream. This princess is Princess Ayi from Qi Kingdom."
Gao Sen and Gao Lin were overjoyed when they heard this.
The two stopped shaking and considered getting up from behind the wall.
The two of them were extremely happy, but Gao Miao was extremely angry at this time.
It was a good thing that Gao Miao didn't listen. His lungs almost exploded when he heard it, and he almost spit out a mouthful of old blood.
"I have never heard of Zi Qiguo." He immediately stood up from the wall, pointed at the other party and shouted loudly.
The thing chuckled again, as clear and crisp as a bell.
Although the voice was extremely clear, Gao Miao was extremely disgusted when he heard this. Isn't this making fun of himself?
Sure enough, the crisp voice said: "You Gao family still have the nerve to say this. Have you forgotten that more than a hundred years ago, your Gao family's army of more than 100,000 people was defeated by Qi State and fled."
Hearing this, Gao Miao's handsome face almost turned into the color of pig liver.
"Don't dwell on the old scores of the past. When did the Dali Kingdom recognize your Wuman self-proclaimed Qi Kingdom?" Gao Miao calmed down and couldn't help but say sarcastically.
The two things made a sweet smile: "I came all the way from Qi State to rescue the Prime Minister of Dali State. Since you don't admit it, then we will go back and let the barbarians continue to attack you."
Upon hearing this, the expressions of the three people changed drastically, and all of them turned into the color of pig liver.
No matter how Gao Miao refused to admit that he was from the Qi Kingdom, it was an ironclad fact that the other party came to rescue them.
When Huang Xiaoniu heard this, he couldn't help but have a sarcastic smile on his face.
It has indeed come all the way from Qi State, but it has not played much role yet.
Even if Princess Ayi entered the valley where the Dali soldiers were, it would have been thanks to the giant chariot.
From Huang Xiaoniu's point of view, without the help of the security group, all the five thousand soldiers and horses from the Qi Kingdom might not be able to get here.
Although Huang Xiaoniu looked unhappy, he did not say anything out loud.
In any case, she and Princess Ayi will be the concubines of the little saint from now on, so the relationship cannot be too tense.
But Gao Miao and the others didn't know this, and they were extremely embarrassed at this time.
Although Gao Miao is good at speaking hard words, he is the eldest son of the Gao family after all, and it is absolutely impossible for him to speak soft words.
Gao Miao doesn't say soft words, and Princess Ayi is even less likely to say soft words.
The purpose of her coming here is to ask Dali to recognize her status as Qi.
Huang Xiaoniu shook his head, Princess Ayi said her words to death, and neither party could step down at this time.
But the purpose of their coming here is to pick up Dali soldiers and kill Hu together.
Thinking of this, Huang Xiaoniu stood up and spoke.
"I've seen Mrs. Ayi before, Gao Taixiang." At this time, along with a cough, a rich middle-aged man's voice came from the city wall.
Although Gao Taixiang was grateful, he firmly refused to recognize Princess Ayi's identity.
Princess Ayi sighed inwardly and couldn't help but shake her head.
Even under this situation, Gao Taixiang, the prime minister of Dali State, does not recognize Qi State. Obviously, this is not possible for the time being, and he can only think of other ways.
Princess Ayi said through the sound transmission device: "This princess is Princess Ayi, and in front of me is the Prime Minister of Dali, Prime Minister Gao?"
"I am Gao Taixiang. What advice can Miss Ayi give me?" Gao Taixiang suppressed the anger in his heart, but he firmly refused to acknowledge Princess Ayi's identity.
